00:01It was at the 1973 International Air Show at Paris, France
00:05that the two rivals competed against one another in the air for the first time.
00:13On the 3rd of June, the third day of the show,
00:16Concorde gave its flying display.
00:24It was faultless.
00:46Concorde now took off, climbing very much more steeply from the runway than Concorde.
01:04The display was going well and the pilot appeared to pull up to avoid a near-flying Mirage fighter
01:09and then went into a dive.
01:12Some 1,500 feet from the ground, the plane broke up,
01:15the wreckage falling into a group of nearby houses.
01:29This disaster not only dashed the Soviet chance of foreign sails,
01:34but was also to be the eventual death knell of the project.
